that reminds me how pissed off I'd get with all those hard ass games on the NES. Why all the randomness and impossible jumps konami??

Here's how they probably designed most stages in TMNT:
guy 1: "Hey this jump is way too easy, anyone can just press a button and jump, how about I move the other side of the pitfall a few pixels so the player can barely get jump over it if he's lucky"
guy 2: "That's a great idea, in the meantime I'll lower the ceiling just so it gets a little bit harder"
guy 1: "Thanks, I'll also put an enemy here that will hit the player 9 out of 10 times and if he's hit he'll fall and have to do it all again and the enemies will all respawn"
guy 2: "You're a genius!"

I mean, I'm with the guy above me, I played all of these and have fond memories, but mostly only because the other games out at the time were so much ****ing worse. That's why I find nostalgia for the "good old days" so incredibly laughable; 95% of the old games were shit, and of the remaining 5%, 4% of those were pretty ****ing bad, too, but at least they weren't as bad as the 95%, so I thought I was having a good time.

He should review Dragon's Lair for NES. I remember renting that game when I was little and just getting so mad and sweaty and my dad kept telling me to take a break and I just had to keep playing because I wanted to win. **** I remember getting pretty goddamn far for how impossible that game was.

What's hilarious is that I know exactly which jump you are talking about. You are talking about the mini jump right next to the door that leads you to the top of the dam, before you have to jump in the water.

The jump you have to do is super short, but your head will always bang on the ceiling, and thats when you dont get randomly attacked by one of those giant robot flies.
